Artifact Creation & Magic Item Resonance:Enchanting a single item with multiple effects has a cumulative cost because of the difficulty in making items that can retain such layered resonance. Generally, because of the cost, the vast majority of magic items have only one enchantment. For related reasons, a character may only equip these things at one time: 2 rings, 1 necklace or tiara, 1 helmet, 1 cloak or piece of clothing, 1 set of boots or leggings. 1 set of bracers, 1 chest armor, 1 shield, and weapons. A character may only benefit from the highest value of a particular bonus.

Enchantments listed are provided to give a sense of available enchantments. Generally, enchantments originally listed for one type of item may be places on another type of item. So, for example, one may get a Rune Stone necklace rather than a Rune Stone ring.
